We all do dumb things, it's called being human.
i run a 2001 s10 3door 4.3L v6 and recently i have had my high beam indicator light start comming on and staying on when the truck is turned off, none of my DRL, Lo beam, hi beam nor any other light on the truck are on, i dont know whats causing that light to illuminate, but i do know that at the RDO BAT fuse on the left side of dash is drawing almost 0.9 amps on a 10 amp setting, and 12.3 volts at the same fuse.
i haven't how ever pulled the insterment cluster and read amp/voltage at the light bulb socket, this is the only fuse ( between underhood and and left side dash fuse blocks aside from the int bat 30amp maxi fuse which controls the RDO bat circut + others ) that has any draw when the truck is off.
im not sure if there are any other fuses, relays, fusible links, inline fuses that i have missed, but if my truck sits for any length of time over 16 hours the battery is dead, posibility of the GMC anti-theft/security light staying on and causing the truck to not start.
back in july 07, i had the right side lower control arm and ball joint seperate, dropped front end onto the tire, towed it home and the tow truck found a sink hole hidden under my driveway which gave way and thus dropped my front end a 2nd time in 2 days.
i dont know if this situation would have any impact on my problem now but may as well throw it in there.
cheers and thank you all now for any ideas thoughts or solutions

PS when the truck runs every thing works the way it was intended to high beam light off when in DRL and lo beam settings, hi beam dash light comes on when i turn high beams on goes out when i turn them off and go back to lo beam and DRL settings, this problem only occurs when truck is not running and every thing is off.. closed it up locked the doors was sitting on my drybox in the back and noticed this
Does anyone have an idea on which way to go from here or even preferable a fix to my problem? Could it be a ground that I can't find?
Thanks in advance,

:confuse:
Will try it asap!!!!
Then I thought, lets check the fuses again. I looked at the big fuses this time and the 50 amp fuse on the IGN2 circuit had blown. Alright! Now we are getting somewhere. I took the smaller fuses out of the HVAC and turned the key to the ACC position. Everything worked (wipers, radio, odometer, ect) like a charm. I turned the key to the ignition on position and I could hear the fuse pop. I pulled the fuses for the radio and even pulled the radio out, in case someone had done something to it and the fuse blew when the key was moved to the run position.
I know I have a short somewhere, but have no idea on where to start. As I said, I saw nothing obvious under the dash. Would pulling all the HVAC fuses also kill the power to the heater blower? The AC was turned off so I don't think that was a problem.
Any ideas on where to start looking again,
Thanks for the help!

Check for the ground connection, it's a tab between the motor mount bolt and the motor case, it could be broken !
I had that problem ...
Hope it'll help !!

Is anybody got that problem ?
Any help would be appreciated !

My problem was the wiper-motor itself, I open the motor case and the parkswitch was stuck, tried to fix but broked the plastic lever acting that switch, so i replaced the motor assy and everything is ok now .
Hope it'll help you !!
Also my headlights are iffy. With both plugged in they kinda dim in and out, and if i try to hit the brights, they don't work at all, they go off completely. If I remove 1 headlight it seems to work fine. Could this be a bad ground?
Went to Advance Auto & CarQuest & they didn't have any. So, where do I go to get one??
